TO THE PUBLIC. N,Ve should he riajust to tike Public, as well as to ourselves, if we siqiered this day to pass with out fthservition. Tits SUN, this day, completes its TWENTY-St ATH Y R, during twenty-five of which period the present Proprietor has been con , fleeted kb it. His political principles, however, were • nown to be congenial with those upon wit c 4 the I'x% SUN was wonder!, previous to its institution, and the Paper will abeays feel prood that it can boast of having been indebted for its origin to the late illustrious Statesman, WILLIAM PITT, whose system it has mideviatingly and arenuously maintained. THa Su N may, indeed, cqufideiply affirm that no other public Journal in this Metropolis has been equally consistent in its political cundnet, and it shall preserve its con sistency as long as tie present Proprietor has any control)l over it. Ministers, in patronizing this Paper, may be said to be only snpporting their own principles, and would be grossly impolitic if they aid not impart to it full as much confidence as they extend to any other. Those who stile themselves PITIITES would be unworthy of the name if they did not warmly encourage a Paper devoted to the principles which they profess, and consequently the PITT CLUBS, throughout the United Empire, would have no right — to assume such an appellation if tbey-ivere not•among the warmest of its Patrons. Prom THE Canacu the Paper may reasonably expect a zealous protection, as it has been conspicuous in supporting the Pro testant Faith, and in resisting the further preten sions of POIPERY. We shall make no professions, but let our conduct speak for us, and while THE SUN perseveres in the same course, it has a-right to expect the sanguine support ,of every loyal Subject and true Friend to the BRITISH CONSTI. rtUTION. LONDON JOURNALS. .(VROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) [Morning Herald.] • THE QUEEN. golf:az+, Eight o'CliYek, Sept. - 30. 4 ' On the preeerfftig evening her MAJESTY ap- Feared to improve considerably both in strength send spirits ; and flp to eleven o'clock„ whet the ~PrinceSses and the Physiciani retired, there had been no material recurrence of tl►e more virulent effectir of her disorder. An uninterrupted, and appopeutly refreshing, sleep of several hours fol lowed. " Throughout the whole of the day her Ma jesty has continued very evidently better than she Las been during the last fortnight. " She was again removed into her boudoir, and partook of the dinner prepared for her table with a tolerable appetite. She was attended, during her repast, by both' the Princesses. " immediately after the promulgation of the Bulletin, Sit Francis Mitrnan set off for London, leaving Sir Henry Ha!ford in attendance ; and, at five o'clock in the evening, he returned to the Palate. " The Princesses again passed great part of the forenoon in the grounds, attended by General Taylor and Sir Henry Halford. Their Royal Highnesses appear to find much relief, front the tedium and anxiety of their present situation, in projecting the different improvements which are going on, and in superintending their execution. A great number of workmen are employed' in these alterations. The temples and alcoves, which bad been suffered to fall into a very ruinous state, Lave been repaired and decorated ; and it is in tended to lay down a number of spacious gravel walks, intersecting the lawn at several points.— One very spacious walk, nearly half a mile in length, is already in great forwardness. It is to extend from the Aviary gate of the home shrub bery over the lawn, to the cover called the Holy 'alk, near the Pagoda ; and from the luxuriant growth of the hollies, and other evergreens, in this part of the plantation, it will form an ad mirable and most picturesque winter promenade. This, as their Royal Highnesses may remain here some months, will be a great improvement ; the old walks being but few, and those very con fined. " IVlrilst the Royal Ladies were occupied in inspecting the operations on these improvements, they were joined by the Duke of York, and with bins they returned to the Palace, where his Royal Highness remained till after four o'clock, when, having had an interview with her Majesty, he returned to town. His Royal Highness drove his curricle himself, and was attended by only a single servant. " At half-past five o'clock, the Prince Regent Arrived from Carlton-house, and had an home &Hate conference with both the Physicians, ar the close of which, Sir Henry Haltord, who had been waiting some time for the arrival of his Royal Highness, instantly set out for Windsor Castle, to attend the Princess Sophia. His Royal High ness afterwards visited the chamber of her Ma jesty, and, having remained about three quarters of an hour at the Palace, he returned to Carlton louse. " Among the numerous visitors at the Palace s to-day. were the Countess or Cardigan, the Hon. Mrs. Stanhope, General Traist, Sir Archibald and Lady Macdonald, and Miss Beat, daughter of Baron Best, director of the Post-office Depart went in Hanover. This Lady is very constant in livr respectful attentions at the Palace. " We regret to add, that since seven o'clock, her Majesty has had a slight recurrence of fever, and is by no means so well as she ,was in the rally part of the afternoon. Slr Francis Milmati anti Mr. Braude are in attendance."

THE QuEENI--The following is the Bulletin which was issu&l this day : if KEW PALACE, OCT. 1. " The QUEEN has had several hours' sleep in the night, but it does not appear to have pro duced any material change of the symptoms of Her MAJESTY'S Disease. (Signed) " F. MILMAN." We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are extracts:— " PARIS, SePT. 28.—The King received yes terday at the Thuilleries the Ministers, 'Marshals, Cardinals, &c. The Officers of the Gardes du Corps, of the companies d'Havre and Grammont whose service expires the end of this month, were presented to the King. These companies will be replaced by the companies of Luxemburg and Noaiil , s. The Duke de Luxemburg, Captain of the Guards, and the Duke of Ragusa, Major- General of the Royal Guards, commence their service,' near his Majesty's person, on the ht of October. " In the province of Jutland, in Denmark, there has been a tumultuous assemblage of pea sants, which rendered it necessary to assemble a military force, in order to restore tranquillity, and arrest the ringleaders. " A letter frum Auxerre, dated the 25th inst. says, `'There never was seen in this part of the country so fine a vintage. The produce of wine will be one fourth more than was calculated upon, and the quality will he at least equal to the (pan- City. At the moment of writing this letter 3,000 pieces of new wine are going off for Paris.' " FRANKFORT, SEPT. 23.—The Emperor of Austria arrived here at four in the afternoon. The Burgomasters had the honour of addrvsing his Imperial Majesty in the name of the City. The Emperor assured them of the interest he should always take in whatever raved to the prosperity of Frankfort. His Imperial Majesty then passed through the City to proceed to Mayence, the in habitants manifesting all time way those sentiments which they have always felt towards the august House of Austria. The Emperor will remain to morrow at Mayence, and set out the nest day. He will also stay for a day at Coblentz. " The Emperor of Russia is expected here the 25th or 26th. " PETERABURGH, Seri% 2.—lt is understood here that the Emperor, after the Congress of Aix la-Chapelle, will proceed to Brussels, and from thence to Paris. a RASTA nr, SErT.2o.—The interviews between the Princes de Metternich and de Hardenberg, at Coblentz, lasted three days, from the 13th to the 16th. The objects discussed are snuosed" to have been of great importance. " AUGSBURG, SEPT. 20.—The King of Bava ria set out the day before yesterday from the chateau of Nymphemburg, and arrived the same evening at Landshut. Yesterday his Majesty set out to proceed to Ratisbon, where he will have an interview with the Emperor of Austria. " AIX.I.A.CHAPELLE, SEPT. 23.—General Wo ronzow, Commandant of the Russian Corps d'Ar inie in France, is shortly expected here. " FRA.NKFORT, SEPT. 23. —We have jest learned, that the Emperor of Russia set out from Potsdam on the 21st iustant.'s THE FUNDS.—The alteration in the amount of Stock purchased by the Commissioners, front a new arrangement, will not take place until the 10th inst., when they will commence buying more Stock periiay than they d;kl last quarter; Consols have risen this morning ; the Market looked ♦ery still at 75Y, and several re spectable Brokers have been buying 'to a large amount. The French Dividends, which are due this day, commenced paying by ROTHSCIIILD and Co. We are not inclined to ridicule tl►ose News papers which have sent Ambassadors to assist the Congress of Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle. On the contrary, we are much obliged to them for saving us much trouble and expence f for as to what may really pass in the deliberations of the Allied Powers we are full as likely to learn in our chairs at home as those De putations front the English Journals, but we shall at least learn from them all that passes with out doors, which is all that can be expected, and we promise our Readers, that we will provide them with copi o us extracts front all the Dispatches which the Newspaper Plenipotentiaries may send home to their respective Authorities. There has been much misrepresentation respect ing the reception of certain Menthe's of our ROYAL FAMILY in France. It has been stated, that on the arrival of the Pt ittcess ELIZABETH at Calais, she was treated with the most marked disrespect, no salute, guard, ,or other attention, having beet paid to her Royal Highness, except a corporal and three soldiers, in a white un dress, and that the sane incivility has been %tended to the rest of the Family, who have since been landed successively in that place, from the Royal Sovereign yacht: This state ment has naturally given much uneasiness to all who feel as they -ought to do for the honour and dignity of the Crown, whilst it affords a malignant satisfaction to the disaffected, who always dwell with pleasure on any circum stance that may tend to the degradation of thehigher ranks, or the public Authorities of the Country. The plain fact is, that, accading to the etiquette of the French Court, it is not usual to pay public honours to any foreign Prince or other Dignitary, unless it is notified through their respective Ear . hassadors that their arrival may be expected.— It is presumed that when such Notification is not made, that it is the wish of the parties to be incog, and that it would be improper to take that notice of them which they are disposed to avoid, and which, under other circumstances, would most cheerfully be observed. The Corporal and his patty were in the French full dress, and always attended on the Quay, on the arrival of the yacht, merely to watch the tackling with which she was affixed to the shore, and had nothing to do with her passengers. The Mayor of Calais is a man extremely well affected to his own Government, as well as kind and civil to every Englishman with whom he has any con cern ; and it is due to him to say, that he, as well as General BESSIERES, the Commandant, have been most attentive in paying their personal re spects, on board the yacht, to all the branches of the Royal Family, immediately on her entering the Harbour, with the offer, of every service in their power. This respect they paid noir) the impulse of their own feeling, for it was not by any means a duty. Those, therefore, who, feeling fur the honour of our Country, have thought it ne cessary that a serious resentment should be ma nifested on the supposed insult offered to us by France may make themselves perfectly easy, for there never has been the slightest ground for the animadversions which have arisen upon the subject. CAPTAIN SIR MURRAY MAXWELL.—It has been erroneously stated in some of the French Papers, that this Gentleman had been to Spa, in order to recover ft om the elf cts of the brutal treatment which he suffered from the Jacobin Miscreants in Covent-garden during the late Election. We can assure our Readers that he has not left this coun try since that period, and we are convinced that all good men will rejoice to hear that the Gallant Officer, thoagh not quite well, is much unproved in health. The mistake arose front the visit of Captain Maxwinnn, of Harley -street, who went with his family to that place. Sir MURRAY MAX WELL still remains at Richmond, in Surrey.—We earnestly hope, and, indeed, do not doubt, that this spirited, able, an.' truly patriotic Officer, in case of another vacancy for the representation of the City of Westminster, will come forward again, when we shall anticipate the most triumphant suc cess, as well in atonement for the injuries which lie received, as for the good-humoured temper with which he bore them, and for the distin guished merits of his character in all its relations. Hamburgh Papers to the 27th ult, are arrived. The King of SWEDEN and NORWAY was crowned at Drontheim, on the 7th ult. Among the acts of grace that marked this important ceremony, 27 criminals were pardoned, and the sentence of three others was commuted. MEILANCHOLY CATASTROPHE. -On Saturday last an explosion of gas took place in one of the coil-pits at the I{uffey Colliery, near Dudley, of which eight men were the victims, including the foreman, a most rurpectable man and valuable servant. Five of the sufferers had families. They were all buried at the same time, and their fune rals presented a mast affecting scene, POLAR ICE. [FROM A CORRBSPONDENT.3 A man of war sloop, Captain BRADLEY, in latitildel°ll South, sailing to the Eastward, passed, to - the North fields of ice fur four days iegether, and then the Ice esteadet, in au easterly direction as far as could be seen from the m as t 'head. But the - ship having then passed the meridian ofd`` Horn, bore away to the Northward. These fields c", above the water were 6 feet high, and, reckoni n g twa4ttr. ; under the water, ate 18 feet thick. A proof this proV rt : o is just: to the Eastward of the Banks of Newfoundla% Captain of a Frigate was looking With a glass at a n iceh l RD feet. high and 400 feet long, about 2 miles distant, wilco it suddenly capsized or turned bottom up , a nd Was tc,t, about 50 feet high. To the North of Bhering's Strai t, cl , l i (ouk, in latitude 70. 44. North, met a barrier of ice It 'eel above the water and 24 feet under the surface, in a ll . 36 i h e et t thick. This ice never could have been frozen there; — OO same from the Northward and stuck there. Because, la t same parallel of southern latitude, the ► field ice wa s not VI; re 0 but to half the thickness (and perhaps came from th e S 0 ward), and it is much colder in the southern helailber than in the northern, because more elevated i n the ow e P rallels of latitude. The above is a strong argument in fa“) *Ce of of a passage through Bhering'S Stra i t ; and if clear 95 this last August and September, augurs we ll for the sscetli of Captain Ross, who, it is to be hoped, Pacific Ocean. is now in the SF11?
